Unhide EXT ROM on ASUS P550 / Vodafone v1520 - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I have the v1520. Been searching for almost a week now in various forums, how to unhide the EXT ROM. Been trying every registry setting and unlocking tool and/or other trick there is and that I could find. Been asking senior members here who refer in other posts like they knew something but they don't want to answer anything (that's not polite I think). So far - no luck.
So the question to the public is - how the £%€# does one unhide the the EXT ROM of ASUS P550 / Vodafone v1520 ?
The reason I'm started this quest is that my in-call volume cannot be adjusted (it's too loud). I think it might be one of the provider cabs. So if anyone has one of these devices and either has or has not the in-call volume working/not working, please share info.

Could anyone please comment even on the volume issue?

Vodafone Rom

Hi
Is there a UK vodafone ROM for the BA. My provider is vodafone and it would nice to have the correct settingd for my BA, instead of usinf the T-Mobile rom.
Thanks
Lordao
Someone (not me) dumped the ROM here: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/Vodafone_VPx_1.22.nb1
Read the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel for details of how to use this file.
Hope this helps!
hi
Thanks for that, but i don't seem to have permissions to get into that directory.

hi
i got the rom, the extension is different to what i expected, do i have to use a different loader for this, as changing the extension from nb1 to nbf did not work.
Thanks

Look at this first..
Hi Lordeo..
Do youself a favour.. Look at this..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted
After, have a quick look at this..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Versions
As you can see, there's no direct UK Vodafone ROM available however, you can look at upgrading your Rom to the highest here..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.42.00_Upgrade
Then applying the UK Vodafone MMS, GPRS and SMS settings from a post I authored a while ago by clicking here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32437
Ok, the downside here is that you'll have what is essentally a T-Mobile branded phone..
Lastly, there's always the option of upgrading to WM5.. See here..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home
If you do decide to go ahead with this, please read part of a post I authored a couple of days ago.. It states..
General Tips to you (and others)..
If you do want to update or upgrade then make sure you read everything through first.. Make sure you're happy in doing it.. Perhaps use the search function to read through others comments.. I would also recommend reading others comments about trying to downgrade from WM5 to WM2003SE to see what others have encountered
You will not believe the amount of people who end up posting questions when they've not followed the instructions from Wiki that I've pasted for you here..
Finally, if you are stuck, use the search command and describe your problem in the Keywords section, select Blue Angel from the Category and read through the posts relating to it before posting questions..
I think that's everything..?
Goodnight!
Restoring ROM dump
Take a look at this thread: http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=151&PN=1 at the end of the first posting there is a brief section entitled How to Restore. Copy the .nb1 file onto an SD card and follow the instructions in the post to restore. Good luck!
thanks for all the info.
for some reason the rom backup file would not automatically install from the SD. oh well. i went to wm5 very nice but i can not get my gps to pair correctly with bluetooth, back to the t-mobile rom at least tom tom works with 2003 correctly

DbgToStorageLog

My P3300 (ROM 1.12.411.1 RUS) always creates annoying log files:
DbgToStorageLog0.txt - DbgToStorageLog3.txt, size approx. 3mb each
I cant find any solution to disable them, any suggestions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1042471
no solution i guess.
And no discussion

The same problem for me.
I am waiting for results tommorow. I reporting then a know something.
PEOPLE!!!!
We had a realy weapon for kill this files
go to here
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=25629&view=findpost&p=559073
I also have the same problem. I hard reset today and already I have 4 dbgtostoragelog files (2 are over 1.5 mb).
I followed the links in this thread but nothing is in English so don't know what to do - am I alone on this !!!!
pna,
the manual in the link U have visited sugests the real solution of the trouble. To prevent it, one should create the following files in the root directory of his Artemis:
DbgToStorageLog0.txt
DbgToStorageLog1.txt
DbgToStorageLog2.txt
DbgToStorageLog3.txt
DbgToStorageLog4.txt
New anoying files will not come any longer after doing that, and your "hand made" files will never grow.
Many thanks nemo8...have just done it so hopefully all is now fixed.

Authenticity of “Official” WM6 ROM & Step by Step Guide

Can anyone provide these answers before I ever risk installing this:
What are the origins of this "Official" ROM to make it be classed as an "Official" HTC ROM as there is nothing mentioned on HTC support website?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Also, as a suggestion could the ROM list page (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...inity_Upgrades) be updated to reflect the flurry of recent releases of ROMs in the forum over the last few weeks inc. this one?
2) Which of these is the correct one to use on for upgrading from Orange SPV M700 Wm5 as after reading the threads I have: TRIN_WM6.rar, TRIN_WM6_FLASHER.rar, Official_WM6.rar.
3) If there are patches / upgrades required for this e.g. HTC_VideoCallPatch_vX.cab, Microsoft_Office_Mobile_6.1.cab could I suggest they be all be culminated on a special page for this ROM if this is to be the baseline ROM for future developments / tweaks as these files are scattered all over the forum at present.
4) Any chance an experienced flasher could create a "Step by Step Guide" from an Orange SPV M700 Wm5 locked to an WM6 Official install (inc. Orange Settings / Customisations etc.) unlocked that includes creating a ROM backup of your own phone prior to installing, so you can switch back? - I have read the posts / threads and have yet to find a definitive page on all this.
Just a thought..... as it would help novices and cut down posts to relevant questions and not the same old inquiries.
Cheers
Hawk
Yeah we noob need some steb by steb guide(for vista though)
it was stated in the first mention of this rom that the poster wouldn't be answering questions about it.. so there's not much people can tell you about where it came from, etc.
the cabs may or may not be accumulated because there's nothing to suggest that this ROM will be the basis of future developments. The build is older than current WM6 ROMs on this forum.. better read a bit more to get the big picture.
can't tell you which one is the right .rar file to flash, but you won't find a step by step guide. Essentially, go get hard-spl and run the RUU to install it on your phone. Then manually enter the bootloader and while connected via USB run the RUU for the ROM you want to flash.
I don't use vista, so can't say much about the connection problems but there are MANY MANY posts about it, so i suggest you get searching.
happy flashing

How to unlock Extended ROM in Asus P320?

Does anybody know?
The problem with this forum is that some of the issues are covered even too many times, but some of the issues for some reason the senior members do not want to cover. If You are lucky, You'll get some kind of hint, but don't excpect a walkthrough for everything. Maybe this thread will get You started - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416596. Read about unlocking registry first. I haven't tried this yet btw.
Also try searching the forum for unlock / unhide / extrom / registry and the combinations of these.
Good luck.

how's the sound quality of your phone?
i have a problem with phone 1, it picks up alot of ambience noise.
difficult to hear the other person you're talking to.
if you put your hand over the mouthpiece, and also the earpiece, it creates a feedback sound.
no problem on phone 2.
Hkc G1000
Hi Pranix,
thanks for the rom file after i'll ask you how to flash it.
My phone works good both sims, your, sounds to be an hardware
problem, since you told that you have flashed the rom.
The set of the microphone for the sim 1 is too sensible, and when you put the hand on the micro, it cause what is called "larsen effectc", that happend when the sensibility of the microphone is too high and trigger a feedback from the earphone that cause an annoying whistle .
In an italian forum, I heard about an engineering code to write down in the
china phones with WM6, that allow you to set some hardware features
of the phone including the sound level, I don't know if this is possible also with our phone. but it worth a try.
I'll go to ask in the forum and if pertinent, i'll post you the answer.
Bye
hi,
the procedure to flash is in the rar file that i have uploaded.
just open the text file.
hope you can find some way to minimize the sensitivity of microphone setting for phone 1.
regards,
pranix
Hi Pranix,
he say that the code "engineer mode" it is available only on the china phones with the RTOS operating system, and in some motorola and Nokias,
but he say that maybe it is possible to change the parameters set on the windows registry, with a pc program like CeRegEditor.
Connect the phone to the pc, start CeRegEditor, make it read the registry, click on unlock (if not you can't save the changes), after that you have to look where are located the keys regarding the audio, and see if modifiyng the key value you can solve the problem.
I will look further if i find some else solution
good luck
i already tried editing registry however still the same.
maybe i was editing the wrong registry. hehe
i just hope that 9rinder gets to post his rom here

i've actually tried editing those registries before however still the same.
the question here is that do we have one or two mircrophones?
coz if only one, then there must be a setting somewhere to adjust phone 1 & phone 2. phone 2 sound is better than phone 1.
if two microphones, i cant find the settings as there is only one setting to tweak.
Hello. I have one of this PDa.
Mine has this ROM:
ROM version:WM6_SITRONICS_SD106_VER_05
Radio version: CYNTHIA850_DMDC_RIL_01.01
Protocol version: W8.5P8.4
Dragonfly Version:CYNTHIA850 TF-DV17-MODULE-VER-07.16 Feb 18 2008 13:02:06
Do you recommend me to update?
Is any way to "extract" its original ROM?
And is any way to "edit" any of your roms to change the language of the OS?
Thanks
